BC Parkway
For a great city ride through New Westminster, Burnaby and Vancouver, take the BC Parkway. The mostly flat route follows the Skytrain most of the way. It’s 18km long from the Fraser River to Trout Lake. I start at 22nd Station, have lunch on Commercial Drive and take the train back. For a longer loop, connect with Central Valley Greenway.
The Drive
Tour East Van and visit The Drive on the Adanac Bikeway. There are breweries to visit, murals to see, and restaurants and shops on Commercial Drive. Add on a loop through Strathcona and Chinatown. At the end of the day you’ll see a stream of crows in the sky as they fly home at night.
Portside Bikeway
Follow the Vancouver shoreline on Portside Bikeway. See the Container Port, tugs and fireboats, and enjoy views of The Lions and North Shore mountains. Explore New Brighton Park’s easy trails and discover the greenways and gardens of Hastings Park.
Burnaby Scenic + Adanac Bikeway Loop
Enjoy this scenic loop on Burrard Inlet, around the city, and along Adanac Bikeway. You’ll see the inlet, North Shore Mountains, Port of Vancouver, Strathcona, and East Van. Start from Vancouver or Burnaby ― either way it’s a great route.
